We all need keywords when we use our gadgets, right? Aside from forming words with just a touch, did you know that typing on keyboards enhances accuracy as you harness muscle memory in the fingers to assist you with spelling? Pretty great, don’t you think!

Most people know keyboards for being a panel of keys that operate a computer or typewriter. Are you one of them? Or do you see keyboards as a useful tool for learning?

As a student, are you fond of taking school notes with the help of your laptop or iPad? If yes, then you know how important keyboards are for you to function.

According to a site called Read and Spell, “while tablets have become important tools in education today, typing on the computer is still a crucial skill for students to learn in their lives. Keyboarding means the muscles in the hand are involved in typing, which makes students feel their way through the activity instead of using their eyes.”

Through the years, educators gave importance to keyboards because of the “touch typing” skill that’s being developed. For them, learning to touch type means becoming a competent typist who can effortlessly perform online research, type assessments, and overcome online exams.

However, due to our world becoming as advanced as ever, technology is changing our lifestyles, health, education, and society.

Back then, keywords are used for typing purposes as a basic requirement for educational and professional excellence. Apart from that, when someone is like a pro at touch typing, they become more confident and are more likely to perform properly academically.

Today, have you ever met someone who gives importance to the way they type? Probably a few. These days, no one cares about keywords anymore.  For kids in the 21st century, keyboards are just a tool for note-taking, or worse, just a tool for sending online requirements.

If you’re overwhelmed with the changes brought by technology, here are some of the ways you can do to feel good. Technology engages young people’s interest, but it doesn’t mean that you have to hate the way things are now.

Consider these guidelines to accept the modernity of time and how to cope with it.

• With the ever-growing virtual world of the Internet and brilliant technology, young people still need help to overcome such changes. As an adult, you could teach them the importance of touch typing, which is still a crucial IT skill nowadays.

• Do not feel left out with the changes brought by machinery. Now is the time to jump in there. It’s never too late to appreciate how things are right now. Changes can also be profitable.

• Accept that change is constant. Everything changes, whether it involves education or not. You can’t expect anything to remain unchanged. Nothing is fixed. There are no certainties – especially when you’re dealing with high-class technologies.

Although technology is changing how we treat keyboards for learning, the important thing is it’s still there, right? Embrace it and join the modern world.
